SAVE: Prosecutor Ethics the Focus of Media Campaign

Press release here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - May 29, 2013) - Following admissions by a star witness that she lied during an Alabama homicide trial -- sending a man to death row -- the Center for Prosecutor Integrity (CPI) is launching a national media campaign. The media effort is designed to engage the public, prosecutors, and other stakeholders in a national conversation about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and the problem of wrongful convictions.

In the Alabama trial, investigators offered to pay Alisha Booker $10,000 in return for her testimony against Montez Spradley, charged with killing a 58-year-old woman. But in a pre-trial hearing held earlier this month, Booker testified that her testimony was not truthful, that she tried to renege on the agreement before going to trial, and that investigators threatened to prosecutor her if she refused to testify.

The CPI media campaign, which begins this week, consists of radio interviews to be aired across the country. Print editorial coverage is anticipated, as well.
